Why am I getting a warning that the “epstool binary is not available” with saveas (gcf, 'filename.pdf)

I draw outlines with an octave and with the command saveas(gcf,'rainzam.pdf')I get the output in order, but I'm just wondering why I get the following warnings:

warning: print.m: epstool binary is not available.
Some output formats are not available.
warning: print.m: fig2dev binary is not available.
Some output formats are not available.

This is not serious, but if there is a way to make them disappear, I would appreciate help.

cnf epstool epstool: command not found, Publishing repo. .
